Hello everyone,
I just noticed how clever most of you seem to be, and since Dell
has no clue, I wanted to see if maybe you guys could help me figure this
problem out.
I have gone through all sorts of tests with Dell, and after 7 hours of
testing we arrived to some conclusions. My computer is working perfectly fine,
the printer is also working perfectly fine. There is a 25-50 percent chance
that my computer will Freeze during the DELL Loading screen where it gives
the option for F2-F12. However, this problem arises only when the printer is
plugged in. If it is succesful in loading, it wont give any hints of any
further problems. I have two identical printers (Photo 926 AIO Printer), I
tried them both in case maybe its just a faulty printer, but since both are
brand new including the system, my left conclusion is that somehow the
plugged in printer causes CPU to... enter a stupefying phase...
Computer Info:
Windows Vista Premium
Athlon 64 bit 5000+
2gb ram
256 mb nvidia geforce
Brand new system, problem from the whole start, only took 2 restarts to
witness it for the first time.
I am going to try to reinstall printer drivers again today... as the system
is so new... it only has 1 day of restore point... so thats useless right
there... for now.
Please any input, any ideas would be appreciated. Keep in mind I did pretty
much all System checks, and the computer doesnt acknowledge anything to be
wrong with it or the printer, or anything else for that matter.
